In the case of:
Owner occupied & a property you are renting:
If your home is unoccupied for up to 45 days, your cover will remain as normal. If it is unoccupied for more than 45 days, there will be changes to the level of cover provided. For example cover for theft or attempted theft or vandalism is excluded once the home is unoccupied for longer than 45 days.
If your property will be unoccupied for more than 45 consecutive days you will need to contact our Customer Care team. You will need to let us know:
- The reason the premises will be unoccupied
- The dates that the property will be unoccupied for
- If the property will be furnished
Our Customer Care team will advise you of changes to the cover once they have all of the above information.
